Put 6-8 drops of one color of food coloring (orange maybe for fall) on one side and 6-8 drops of another color of food coloring (perhaps yellow for fall). Mix on low for a few rounds (maybe 6 times). Just blend it a bit, not to thoroughly mix the colors.

Divide into 3 balls. Chill for 1 hour. Roll each ball into about 12″ long and 1″ in diameter and slice with a sharp knife to make “coin-like” cookies. Bake at 400 degrees for 8 minutes.

Today set aside an hour to make cookies and pray, as you bake them, for your neighbors, co-workers or friends.

Here are cookie recipes from the old site, What Would Martha Cook?: Christmas Cookie Recipes. (I will add them to this site after this time of preparation is over, as I still have over 150 recipes that need to be transferred.)

Then put a 6-12 in a ziploc bag and a note saying, “I prayed for you this morning. May the Light of Christ shine in your heart this day.”

“…the light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:5

These function as both a tasty treat for your family and a great way to make your home smell like a cinnamon candle. It is far and above our favorite cookie after school. Often, I prepare them for potlucks or meals I take to others. They are delightful with a cup of coffee, too!
